Re: Torchy the Battery Boy Uploaded |
Oh! That explains it. The file is interlaced, which led me to assume it was from a DVD source. However, no combination of cadence settings would allow me to extract a clean 24P version, which is weird. Usually I load 3:2 NTSC pulldowns into AE and reconstruct fairly clean frames into a 24fps stream for further manipulaiton. The YouTube file may have started as a 25fps PAL source, which YouTube converted automatically into its 30fps standard, which doubled frames and juddered motion. Then that file was converted into an NTSC 29.97 file to upload to the archive, introducing interlace artifacts, so there's no practical hope of extracting clean frames from it.
If this is actually in public domain, I may track down a DVD and use some shots from it. I didn't even know TORCHY was in home video release. Thanks for posting it - - -

Re: Torchy the Battery Boy Uploaded |
Right, I think I understand. Torchy would be originally in 25fps, as it's from UK. I'm from the UK, so if I'm burning a DVD for myself I tend to convert 30fps stuff to 25fps stuff.
With Torchy, it looks to me like it was taken from a PAL DVD, but converted to NTSC to upload to Youtube. I didn't change any settings, though I can now see what you mean.

Re: Torchy the Battery Boy Uploaded |
It's a tricky thing to keep in mind. Occasionally, I produce work for UK and other PAL clients, so I have to make sure all the video incompatibilities are sorted out. Discovering what makes things look odd is often a fun bit of detective work.
